Hi everybody, hoping for some help on a 4 album set of J.R.R Tolkien with both he and son reading excerpt of stories. It has only had one owner (my husband) and is in extrordinary condition. One of the 4 has never been opened.

Description:J.R.R. Tolkien Soundbook -4 record album set - 1977J.R.R. reads excerpts from The Hobbit; The Lord of the Rings; Poems and Songs of the Middle Earth.

Christopher reads The Silmarillion- "Of Beren and Luthien"can give more details if needed.

All records have original celophane and comes in a box case.the one problem is that it came with a poster: "Map from the Silmarillian" but it is gone. ( my husband hung it on his wall when he was a boy...) thanks again, Oliver

Based on a Book called ‘Puffin By Design: 70 Years of Imagination 1940 to 2010’ by Phil Baines (Allen Lane, £20).

Eleanor Graham was strict when it came to one aspect of the series, however, only publishing stories she regarded as having lasting worth. Titles by Enid Blyton and JRR Tolkien were among those she felt less than worthy of Puffin.

An interesting quote as The Hobbit is the best selling children's book of all time.

1) The exact title is (compared to the one stated on Tolkienguide's page on Lembas Extra) "Lembas Extra: Proceedings of the 5th Unquendor Lustrum" (followed by "Baarlo, 9 - 11 June 2006"). This title also has a page on its own on Tolkienguide.com: http://www.tolkienguide.com/modules/wordpress/archives/30.

2) The date of publication is May 2008 (not 2007, although the work was copyrighted by the authors in that year). A second, revised printing was done in October 2008.

And for all you collectors, strive to buy a copy of this work - the papers are very interesting read and the publication include formerly unpublished letters by JRRT! (sorry for the insult, I forgot you are hardcore collectors - of course you already have it... )
